@oriolesfan833 @007 And not the first Tarzan yell from the same year and the same cinematographer...(!)

[MARK O'CONNELL - Writer, Author, Bond fan @Mark0Connell]

@ArranHaynesVO @007 It was a common theme - bringing back actors from past and even recent films for new roles.

[MARK O'CONNELL - Writer, Author, Bond fan @Mark0Connell]

When's it ok to say #BACKROOMS is just ARE YOU BEING SERVED meets LOST and whilst it is great a 20 year old has done it, it also feels like a student film horror with zero answers or narrative and just genre beats. But fair play on A24 for marketing the hell out of an okay film.

11 years ago today we walked up the aisle to Bassey & Black in Kananga's office, held a Bond jukebox reception alongside Zorin's gymnasium, roamed the gardens like Red Grant and one agent married his Q, his M and his Moneypenny.

Happy anniversary to my soul!

BOND, QUEER BOND at QUEER BRITAIN - Meet Lionel Bart and the 'kind of enduring yearning' that Bond composer David Arnold feels Bond's first lyricist gave the Bond project...

'It argues something more useful. The queer talent that built 007 deserves to be visible, and the franchise has been built on that talent the whole time.'

Thanks to @DNAmagazine for the BOND, QUEER BOND love!

Two for me...

The Bond series very own Wilhelm scream (Necros, Gobinda, and many others share the same deathly scream)...

...And that crunching metal sound effect (MOONRAKER, OCTOPUSSY, TOMORROW NEVER DIES, LICENCE TO KILL, A VIEW TO A KILL...)

And there will be more...

[JonesTheBond @JonesTheBond2]

Just watching 1964’s Goldfinger and it really got me thinking 🤔

Sublime ‘clunk’ on this guard hitting the floor in Fort Knox… what’s your favourite Bond ‘noises’?

Can be as obscure and niche as you like 😂

(The ‘whoosh’ when Oddjob throws his hat is good too) #JamesBond
